DUDE ... You can be the shining beacon of light for all to see, all over the land since you probably light up the road like a freaking RUNWAY!!!

Hey, no booing allowed! Be a good sport, be the caboose and do the run in reverse, so nobody has to run in front of those lights!

Mike, here's one technique involved in finals vs. The Dragon: at the beginning of the quarter/semester, find out exactly when your finals are scheduled, and let your professors know immediately that you have a family wedding to attend and would like to take the finals early. That has worked for many MINI folks...
